I don't think so... But mine is done, I just forgot to post it yet.

If it helps I'll throw 'do 1000 points of admech by the end of the month' into the ring as an alt universe oath, with only the slight problem of having no internet access at home to post on the forums.

Off to get it tomorrow.

:siren: Hey Goons! :siren:
Do you struggle with the fact that the world is round and time isn't the same everywhere? :jeb:
Do you always forget how many days there are in October? :confused:
Does the 24 hours clock give you issues because you don't have that many fingers and toes? :twentyfour:

Worry no more! Let me introduce you to...

THE BIG OATH COUNTDOWN CLOCK THING

Thanks to the power of SCIENCE :science: you can now see when you need to have your initial oaths submitted by, and when you need get your painting done.

Go here and bookmark this for all your oath countdown needs: http://oath-countdown.appspot.com/



It should tell you exactly how much time you have until the two important dates each month - oath submission posts and oath complete posts. You can scroll to previous and future months (which might be handy around the first/last day depending on timezones).
If I've got everything right, it should show you your local time time according to your browser setup. I think it will work OK on different browsers and platforms, but I'd like feedback from people to check. (Living in UTC land means most stuff to do with times happens to always work for me out of the box)

Hopefully next season we'll stick to the American Samoa timezone for deadlines again, and I won't have to go through all the hacks I made to make that work!

If you've any issues/suggestions, feel free to let me know. If you've any images you think should be added to the background rotation, I can do that easily enough. :vomarine: I hope someone finds this useful. For next season hopefully we can get it linked in the OP. I've only set up the months for this season, but once we decided if we're starting next season immediately or taking a month of to get everything squared up, I'll add them to the calendar.

(Please don't look at the source too closely, I'm not a web guy and it shows!)

To boldly be eaten where no grot has been eaten before!
Well my plan to get and start lots of Skitarii fell foul of the simple fact they were completely sold out when I got to the store.

So I'm starting my Tyranid Kill Team.

I, Thundercloud, oath 10 termagants from Games Workshop (2nd edition plastics with a metal strangleweb).



I should have Skitarii next week.

I do want to drastically improve my painting this year (and I'm going to start by doing some), so these gaunts will be the baseline for where I am, and then I'm going to start exploring new techniques, posting in the painting thread and trying to suck less.

Yeah, just go for it! I say this as someone who's missed several oaths this season and is way behind on points. Show us what you can do!

(Incidentally, I'm still trying to get my Alternate Universe Oath finished by the end of the season, mostly because I'd like to actually play the game I oathed again sometime this year. Of course, this will involve actually finding the time to paint stuff :ohdear: )

Ok, you all convinced me. I have plenty lined up to go past April. Spent part of this weekend prepping the below and have quite a bit more to. I have a far larger 28mm backlog but really want to tackle this 10mm stuff before it gets out of hand.

Probably won't get mine done, having a lot of time eaten up by study, a friend back in town from overseas, a bucks weekend and a wedding. I'll do my best, and pick something small for my regular April oath.

Sorry about the delay in this - Unless someone pledged a new Alternate Universe Oath since April began, I have 9 recorded. (Check the Alternate Universe tab of the spreadsheet for that and for Saved Whales.)

Oh, and Krushgroove, the March completion should now be entered in the spreadsheet, for the purposes of album-making.

The short version is that Krush will pony up $25 for a random Oath, but that's only if at least 10 Alternate Universe Oaths get completed.

It's more of an unofficial category this year given that in past years it's not gotten a lot of participants, and it wasn't extremely popular in the survey that was sent out prior to Season 5.
